Ratings on platforms are not representative and sometimes manipulated; they never count as evidence for facts. People mostly write when something goes wrong: hardly anyone posts “KYC was easy and worked right away”, but ten users with verification problems do, often because a step was missed. So we never weigh criticism on its own, only against other offers in the same category. Only the average ratings on App Store, Google Play and Trustpilot count towards our score, damped and compared within the category. Single reports and community posts do not, so the score cannot be swayed by bought reviews.

Distinct authors in 90 days. Happy users mostly praise in general terms, unhappy ones name details, so single topics collect more criticism.

Experience reports
Chosen by rule, never by hand: per platform at most 50 detailed reports of the last 12 months that describe a concrete experience, positive and negative in the ratio of the platform's stars. General praise or criticism without details is not shown. Short reviews are quoted in full, longer ones shortened to the passages with the experience (… marks cuts); the full review is behind the link.

Google Play 5 of 5 stars „hide.me VPN's speed is a little bit slower than proton VPN & windscribe, its free servers options are fewer than proton VPN & Windscribe. But it's one of the reliable & trustworthy Free VPNs left in the world. Most VPNs won't work until you're charged with exorbitant subscription fees“ − Speed + Connection stability − Availability + Fees

Google Play 5 of 5 stars „I use hide.me VPN (free) purely for accessing a news application that has recently introduced geofencing to force users into subscribing. It's been very easy to use and has been working flawlessly since I installed it. I can't speak to a wider usage context, but for my very limited use-case I can't fault it.“ + Unblocking & censorship + Apps + Connection stability

App Store 3 of 5 stars · Excerpt „…The only issue I have with this is that it really really struggles with the iOS VPN button. It automatically reconnects if you disconnect from the iOS VPN button. Then refuses to disconnect unless you are in the app, click the iOS vpn button, it disconnects then reconnects then you click the menu button in the app.…“ − Apps + Overall impression

Google Play 5 of 5 stars · Excerpt „App arbeitet ohne Verbindungsabbrüche.

Google Play 5 of 5 stars „Tolles und sicheres VPN !!!! Wahrscheinlich beste wo geben ;) Der Support antwortet umgehend. Es sind Einstellungen für Streaming und auch MULTIHOOP verfügbar. "Hide me" loggt keine Daten und somit auch nichts 'herausgeben'. Im Gegensatz zu vielen Mitbewerben die Kundendaten herausgegeben haben !!!!“ + Support + Unblocking & censorship

App Store 5 of 5 stars · Excerpt „…I am using this VPN in asia because other VPN weren’t sufficient. hide.me VPN gives me the bit more that I need and you can also use it for free. I am using it on my macbook and my phone and it works very well. Sometimes you need to check the VPN connection if you haven’t been using your phone/mac for minutes, to reconnect.…“ + Unblocking & censorship + Apps + Fees − Connection stability

App Store 5 of 5 stars · Excerpt „…The best free package of a VPN client I found so far, if you just need a VPN from time to time to look at web pages or your applications from another country. Supports multiple countries, even in free mode, nearly all in payed version. No massive bandwidth limitions I could notice, but I'm not using it for streaming.…“ + Fees + Availability + Speed

Google Play 5 of 5 stars · Excerpt „Die Software ist für meine Zwecke perfekt geeignet. Sie bietet jede Menge Optionen und man sollte wissen was man tut, bevor man die Standardeinstellungen verändert. An die Entwickler: bisher fand ich keine Möglichkeit ein Backup meiner Einstellungen anzulegen. Falls ich das übersehen habe wäre das noch ein "Verbesserungsvorschlag".…“ + Overall impression + Fees ○ Apps

Google Play 1 of 5 stars „Einfach nur schrecklich, ständig verbindet sich die app von alleine von Multihop oder ausgewählten Server, zu bester Standard. Je nach Protokoll funktioniert es garnicht … edit: mittlerweile funktionieren selbst normale Verbindung nicht mehr zuverlässig auf neuen Geräten.“ − Overall impression − Apps − Connection stability

Google Play 4 of 5 stars „He probado la vesión gratuita, y para uso no intensivo funciona perfectamente. Supongo que para aplicaciones exigentes, conectar a la mitad de velocidad no es una opción. No hay publicidad, no hay anuncios, y es de agradecer.“ + Overall impression + Connection stability − Speed

Google Play 5 of 5 stars · Excerpt „Ich benutze hide.me mit Unterbrechungen jetzt 5 Jahre, und man bemerkt es einfach nicht, nicht beim Surfen, nicht bei Downloads … Es gibt einen (leicht eingeschränkten) Free Tarif, was für Menschen wie mich, die wenig Geld haben, einfach super ist, denn ich kann weiter ungestört im Netz unterwegs sein…“ + Overall impression + Fees + Connection stability + Speed
